It poured all day, but that’s OK - we still saw a lot.
We did Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, as well as getting to Disney store 2 of 3. Tons of walking, and I was again reminded that a tired 6 year old is a miserable thing!
If you ever get a chance to go to Sagrada Familia - jump on it. I was awe struck. I am not normally a church tourist, but come-on.... This is amazing. We did the audio tour and we learned so much. Cool thing is that Becca for kids audio and the rest of us got standard versions. She stayed with it for quite a while and then that was that. Did I mention that tired 6 year olds that get hungry are more than miserable? The church was, again, amazing! Have pictures - will try and post them tomorrow.
We stopped at a small sandwich shop near the bus stop for a quick bite. OK, we are in Spain - there is no such thing as quick, unless you are in a cab... Anyway, we chose it for because they claimed to have hotdogs. Well, the menu said hotdogs and there was a picture of a hotdog, and our 6 year old will eat hotdogs... Guess what? Yep, tired, miserable, hungry, more than miserable and we told her she could have a hotdog - so I was dubbed the one that never loved her... UUGH!!! Finally got her to eat the standard fare - ham and what appears to be a tomato spread.
After lunch we jumped back on the HOHO bus and headed to Park Guell. HEY - here’s a tip... IF you take the HOHO bus, do NOT take it to Park Guell. Take the standard metro. HOHO = very bottom of a fairly steep hill. Standard Metro line = TOP of hill... Let’s just go with my calves hurt and if KERMIT ROCKS is right, I am not going to wake up pain free in the morning... Oh, outside of the hill, it is an amazing place. We didnt'do it justice. They say it takes hours. We just didn't have hours... We just really need to come back!!
This evening was the HRC meet. TONs of our new DIS family there! It was great, but I was running near empty, and there were so many and poor Becca was a bit overwhelmed... We grabbed a table with Hayley, Terry and the girls and let the girls get acquainted. I can't wait to really meet Lynne and Len! I was flitting around so much that I think I kind of blew her off - and that was not at all intended!!!
Post HRC it was the magic Fountain display. Wish I could say it was wonderful, but to be brutally honest, it was cold, windy and wet. A total bust. We got some cool pics of the museum though, but any pics of the fountain show in my scrapbook will be from GOOGLE!!!
Getting up early tomorrow to gventure out and see if we can get breakfast somewhere. We need to meet the bus griup here at 830ish to get a group photo. Then we board the bus around 9 and we are off to the Magic!!!
Cant wait!!!
